In short, independents and minor parties combined got more vote than a major party (the LNP coalition). I think this is actually great news, it shows how well ranked choice and proportional voting work to empower smaller parties and diversify them.

Will likely change course next election due to the bullshit loophole in the electoral reform bill now in effect where multiple donations below the new cap can be spread across different branches of a party, disproportionately impacting minor parties and independents with few or one branch

Yeah, that's some bullshit, but the trend away from the duopoly has been ongoing for what, this century ?. That's just patching a leaky bucket with sand. They scared.
